Bridging is supported on Ethernet, Token Ring, and Frame Relay interfaces.
Configuring Device-Level Bridging Parameters
If the FRX4000, FRX6000, or SmartSwitch 1800 is going to support one or more
bridge ports (interfaces), certain device-level bridging parameters must be
conÞgured to deÞne bridge operation.
Using the Bridge ConÞguration window, you can conÞgure the device-level
bridging parameters. To access the window:
1. Click on
2. Drag down to Bridge Configuration, and release. The Bridge Configuration
